A wee thank you to Rangers fans from the Castore Marketing Manager

[Trigga34]

Hard to get to 50 when your size is sold out

 

[Toproadloyal]

40,167 have been sold so far and if the kids strips had been made available today I think we would be over 50,000 already.

Kids strips where available.
Edit, sorry juniors where.

 

[kidkoala1872]

Kids strips where available.

Sorry I meant infant ones up to 6 years old.

 

[BlanturBlue]

Great effort. I just hope mines fits following lockdown eatery.

 

[Dave570]

hope you don't mind @mdingwall but i've fired this up on twitter too

So you didn't care if he minds.

 

[tottie beck]

I reckon we will do the 50,000.

Probably would have if they'd made more XL and XXL

Reckon they might need to shift the balance of production going forward

 

[dublinbluenose]

Just shows that we have a large support and I am not just talking about the numbers we have.we have a big boned support it appears to and I include myself in that

 

[johnkp]

When they said 50,000 units - is that just the men's short sleeved tops?

That's just the kid's range.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Fat Mike could buy 1 million of our jerseys if he wants.
We still get the full whack.

If only the fat chunt would have played it straight with us from the start. I wonder how the SD shareholders feel at this moment of what could have been.................

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Bought my top today. Looks a cracking bit of kit. I still buy the tops but I seldom wear them. It's more because I want to pass them down at some point in the future. I'll fire one on to wear at Ibrox but otherwise they are hanging up in the wardrobe the rest of the year. I also wash them per the instructions or by hand, just to be on the safe side.

More inclined to buy and wear the leisure and training gear for day to day wear.

 

[kramer]

but but but what about Ashley...

Shows what he could have had if he had'nt been such a big fat greedy bastard!

 

[tottie beck]

I wish we knew the percentage we were getting from each shirt. Anyone know a ballpark figure?

 

[Johnny Cash]

not sure squire all I know is that is our record I am assuming it’s the home top

It’s some figure if that was just the home top eh!

 

[BriggsLoyal82]

Gents was there 20% Castore promo codes kicking about, wanted to buy a Garcia hoody and remember a few people with codes

 

[Mr Mojo risin']

Simply put: stick a Rangers logo on anything and we’ll buy it!

you make it sound like we're all mugs

 

[geoallison]

Shows what he could have had if he had'nt been such a big fat greedy bastard!

And also in cahoots with some other dodgy bastards.

 

[Uncle Albert]

Both rangers and castore have won a watch with each other. Superb

 

[Crouchy]

Great work.

480,000 to do tonight to match Juve’s record the day they signed Ronaldo.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

I reckon we will do the 50,000.

That's because we are the people.

 

[bpfurian]

Superb stuff bears, simply the best.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

50,000 and I ain't bought mine yet.

Neither have I big boned loyal.

 

[Woodrow Call]

This is only the start. The big numbers come when maws and grannys get out shopping again

 

[bigbluebomber]

I bought 3 today.........and I was walking around York. ,

 

[chilebear]

If they release it, we will buy it.

If they sew it in blue, we will wear it.


Beat that Lol

 

[Big Blue Bear]

The desperation was oozing out us bears pours for years to grab a top the would benefit Rangers greatly n now its happened I for one can't wait to get mine yaaaaaaasssssssss
WATP

 

[MearnsUnionist]

How does this compare with some one like Chelsea or Spurs?

They don't sell anything close to that in the UK on the first day of release.

 

[55 and counting]

not sure squire all I know is that is our record I am assuming it’s the home top

Could be wrong but I think your 200k number is wrong. I'm sure we sold 350k orange or tangerine as the club called them at the time away tops in 03. Assuming our record for home tops would be more than an away 1.

 

[sprally]

If only the fat chunt would have played it straight with us from the start. I wonder how the SD shareholders feel at this moment of what could have been.................

Defo mate, Rangers and him could of made a lot of coin.
Imagine liking being hated, he is certainly a no right.

 

[Ped78]

Brilliant effort from every bear and bearett.

 

[Careca]

Was that 200k sold of the home shirt that season or all 3 shirts , home, away and 3rd?

Think he’s way off. From memory and hopefully I can track it down, we sold over 400,000 tops that season.

 

[maverick1872]

Junior, 8 years old and above was the smallest kids size.

My daughter is 4, she needs a 4/5 years although she's tiny so would probably drown her.

I contacted Castore on Instagram, as my son is only 4, they said smaller sizes would be available to order before 1st August.

 

[Chubster]

£3m revenue in one day, not bad at all and that's only the home kit!
Difficult to project for the year but any bears in finance/sales willing to estimate over one year when shops are open with all kits and merchandise available?
£50m ? £100m ?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

A wee thank you to Rangers fans from the Castore Marketing Manager

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks very much for all of your support today; it's been fantastic to see such a strong response from the fan base on the new kit. We've sold over 40,000 jerseys since 8am this morning and are confident of getting to the full 50,000 by the end of today which will be a brilliant achievement and show just how great the Rangers fans are!"

That's the kind of positivity this day is about.

When he says the full 50,000 I hope that's not al the stock they've got

 

[temperance]

Surely we will have more than 50,000 home kits to sell, or am I reading it wrong?

That's what was available for yesterday's first release.

 

[JMCK]

There is also the positive impact this has on any future deals, which makes this even more exciting.

 

[Mark-Penny]

50k was just the initial release. They’re already planning more orders for kits.

 

[NorthSideBlue]

Could be wrong but I think your 200k number is wrong. I'm sure we sold 350k orange or tangerine as the club called them at the time away tops in 03. Assuming our record for home tops would be more than an away 1.

We didn’t sell anywhere near that in the tangerine ones .

 

[nemessis]

Can't wait for the other stuff to come out the fact that our club is getting some decent money instead of that Fat Ba$tards rip offs makes it even more welcoming.

The thing to remember is the club just get a percentage of sales and all the various operational costs of producing the strip still has the come out of that £3m.

Castore gave us £3m up front, once a certain number of units are sold we get another £2m which I believe could go as high as £9m in total if sales are that good. That is the main way the club will make money out of this and it is all revenue we have not had in previous years.

 

[55 and counting]

We didn’t sell anywhere near that in the tangerine ones .

Think you'll find we did. Again could be wrong but don't think I am. At the time it was 1 of the best selling away tops from any UK team ever I'm sure. 1 of the reasons people were pissed off when the club bowed to the media mob by not having another 1 when it made so much money. Your 200k record for home tops is miles out.

 

[NorthSideBlue]

Think you'll find we did.

Ive just read the article . Since it describes us as right wing loyalists and Celtic fans as left wing labour voting , I can’t take any of the rest of it seriously .

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Surely we will have more than 50,000 home kits to sell, or am I reading it wrong?

You're reading that wrong mate.

First day pre order only.

Massive restock all over the UK for the official launch day.

 

[Danger Zone]

Can't wait for the other stuff to come out the fact that our club is getting some decent money instead of that Fat Ba$tards rip offs makes it even more welcoming.

Good times mate. It’s an extremely welcome financial boost that will hopefully help us improve the quality on the pitch.

 

[JohnnyArgos]

Great news. Look forward to eventually picking up the kit.

Be lucky if we make 5-10million profit from sales lots of costs to factor in mate

it says on that questionable article that in 2003 429,000 tops were sold in total but that’s across all three kits over two seasons . So it’s entirely possible that over 200,000 HOME kits is the record .

When we started doing our own strip doing away with kit partner we were told we might sell a 3rd fewer than Nike had sold for us the previous year. That figure was 600k quoted in the press at the time. Can't remember if that was just for home strips or home and away combined. Either way our record for home tops is a good bit higher than 200k.

 

[BrianBear1]

There really is no support like ours. We never once abandoned the club during the dark days of lower league football and when we had absolute rogues running our club. Contrast and compare with our rivals who had to close part of their stadium when they were winning everything in sight because we weren't there. WATP.
